[HELP] s-off with locked bootloader

[gab_ITA]

hi everyone. my sensation is getting me angry for a few week. i can't flash roms or others using fastboot commands cause my device is s-off, but i still have the bootloaader locked. from the command prompt i always obtain the same message "writing boot...failed(remote: not allowed)". first at all, i unlocked my device using HTCdev, after i flashed my first rom i found the bootloader locked. second, i tried to turn my device s-off, but controlbaer crashed, so i didn't complete it, but hovewere i'm s-off. how can it be ??? at now, can i flash roms or other .zip just by recovery (4ext) ?? or how can i unlock again the bootloader ??? hope somebody give me an answer. :good:

If you are S-Off and even that the boot loader is locked there should be no problem to install ROM - via 4ext

Hi,

Look HERE
Second post.
Try flashing this:
HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100)
This should give you an unlocked bootloader.

Hi,

I am not sure what to suggest.
People who flash this are normally locked and hboot 1.29
It works for them,so it should work for you
I do not think it would do any harm.

Or perhaps you could flash the 1.27 > 1.29 version first.
Then, go 1.29 > 1.27

How did your bootloader become locked?

When you say you have 1.27 do do you mean a patched one? Besides, @malybru posted a patched one.

You could try unlocking your bootloader (i am not sure, but this may cause brick).

JAM THAT THANKS BUTTON.
Happy to help.

I have 1.29 after flashing new radio and s-off and there is no problem using 4ext for flashing any zip so far

Flashing a rom via recovery shouldn't change bootloader status. Either you flashed a new firmware, or did an ruu.
Besides, a patched hboot should enable fastboot commands.
